HDF5Video

Bases: sleap_io.io.video_reading.VideoBackend

Video backend for reading videos stored in HDF5 files.

This backend supports reading videos stored in HDF5 files, both in rank-4 datasets as well as in datasets with lists of binary-encoded images.

Embedded image datasets are used in SLEAP when exporting package files (.pkg.slp) with videos embedded in them. This is useful for bundling training or inference data without having to worry about the videos (or frame images) being moved or deleted. It is expected that these types of datasets will be in a Group with a int8 variable length dataset called "video". This dataset must also contain an attribute called "format" with a string describing the image format (e.g., "png" or "jpg") which will be used to decode it appropriately.

If a frame_numbers dataset is present in the group, it will be used to map from source video frames to the frames in the dataset. This is useful to preserve frame indexing when exporting a subset of frames in the video. It will also be used to populate frame_map and source_inds attributes.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
filename		Path to HDF5 file (.h5, .hdf5 or .slp).
grayscale		Whether to force grayscale. If None, autodetect on first frame load.
keep_open		Whether to keep the video reader open between calls to read frames. If False, will close the reader after each call. If True (the default), it will keep the reader open and cache it for subsequent calls which may enhance the performance of reading multiple frames.
dataset		Name of dataset to read from. If None, will try to find a rank-4 dataset by iterating through datasets in the file. If specifying an embedded dataset, this can be the group containing a "video" dataset or the dataset itself (e.g., "video0" or "video0/video").
input_format		Format of the data in the dataset. One of "channels_last" (the default) in (frames, height, width, channels) order or "channels_first" in (frames, channels, width, height) order. Embedded datasets should use the "channels_last" format.
frame_map		Mapping from frame indices to indices in the dataset. This is used to translate between the frame indices of the images within their source video and the indices of the images in the dataset. This is only used when reading embedded image datasets.
source_filename		Path to the source video file. This is metadata and only used when reading embedded image datasets.
source_inds		Indices of the frames in the source video file. This is metadata and only used when reading embedded image datasets.
image_format		Format of the images in the embedded dataset. This is metadata and only used when reading embedded image datasets.
channel_order		Channel order of embedded images, either "RGB" or "BGR". This is used to ensure consistent color channel ordering when decoding embedded images. If the encoding and decoding plugins have different channel orders, the channels will be automatically flipped during decoding.
plugin		Plugin to use for decoding embedded images. One of "opencv" or "FFMPEG". If None, uses the global default or auto-detects based on available packages. Note that "pyav" is automatically mapped to "FFMPEG" since PyAV doesn't support image decoding.

__doc__ = 'Video backend for reading videos stored in HDF5 files.\n\n This backend supports reading videos stored in HDF5 files, both in rank-4 datasets\n as well as in datasets with lists of binary-encoded images.\n\n Embedded image datasets are used in SLEAP when exporting package files (`.pkg.slp`)\n with videos embedded in them. This is useful for bundling training or inference data\n without having to worry about the videos (or frame images) being moved or deleted.\n It is expected that these types of datasets will be in a `Group` with a `int8`\n variable length dataset called `"video"`. This dataset must also contain an\n attribute called "format" with a string describing the image format (e.g., "png" or\n "jpg") which will be used to decode it appropriately.\n\n If a `frame_numbers` dataset is present in the group, it will be used to map from\n source video frames to the frames in the dataset. This is useful to preserve frame\n indexing when exporting a subset of frames in the video. It will also be used to\n populate `frame_map` and `source_inds` attributes.\n\n Attributes:\n filename: Path to HDF5 file (.h5, .hdf5 or .slp).\n grayscale: Whether to force grayscale. If None, autodetect on first frame load.\n keep_open: Whether to keep the video reader open between calls to read frames.\n If False, will close the reader after each call. If True (the default), it\n will keep the reader open and cache it for subsequent calls which may\n enhance the performance of reading multiple frames.\n dataset: Name of dataset to read from. If `None`, will try to find a rank-4\n dataset by iterating through datasets in the file. If specifying an embedded\n dataset, this can be the group containing a "video" dataset or the dataset\n itself (e.g., "video0" or "video0/video").\n input_format: Format of the data in the dataset. One of "channels_last" (the\n default) in `(frames, height, width, channels)` order or "channels_first" in\n `(frames, channels, width, height)` order. Embedded datasets should use the\n "channels_last" format.\n frame_map: Mapping from frame indices to indices in the dataset. This is used to\n translate between the frame indices of the images within their source video\n and the indices of the images in the dataset. This is only used when reading\n embedded image datasets.\n source_filename: Path to the source video file. This is metadata and only used\n when reading embedded image datasets.\n source_inds: Indices of the frames in the source video file. This is metadata\n and only used when reading embedded image datasets.\n image_format: Format of the images in the embedded dataset. This is metadata and\n only used when reading embedded image datasets.\n channel_order: Channel order of embedded images, either "RGB" or "BGR". This is\n used to ensure consistent color channel ordering when decoding embedded\n images. If the encoding and decoding plugins have different channel orders,\n the channels will be automatically flipped during decoding.\n plugin: Plugin to use for decoding embedded images. One of "opencv" or\n "FFMPEG". If None, uses the global default or auto-detects based on\n available packages. Note that "pyav" is automatically mapped to "FFMPEG"\n since PyAV doesn\'t support image decoding.\n ' class-attribute

decode_embedded(img_string)

Decode an embedded image string into a numpy array.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
img_string	ndarray	Binary string of the image as a int8 numpy vector with the bytes as values corresponding to the format-encoded image.	required

Returns:

Type	Description
ndarray	The decoded image as a numpy array of shape (height, width, channels). If a rank-2 image is decoded, it will be expanded such that channels will be 1. This method does not apply grayscale conversion as per the grayscale attribute. Use the get_frame or get_frames methods of the VideoBackend to apply grayscale conversion rather than calling this function directly.

Instance

This class represents a ground truth instance such as an animal.

An Instance has a set of landmarks (points) that correspond to a Skeleton. Each point is associated with a Node in the skeleton. The points are stored in a structured numpy array with columns for x, y, visible, complete and name.

The Instance may also be associated with a Track which links multiple instances together across frames or videos.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
points		A numpy structured array with columns for xy, visible and complete. The array should have shape (n_nodes,). This representation is useful for performance efficiency when working with large datasets.
skeleton		The Skeleton that describes the Nodes and Edges associated with this instance.
track		An optional Track associated with a unique animal/object across frames or videos.
tracking_score		The score associated with the Track assignment. This is typically the value from the score matrix used in an identity assignment. This is None if the instance is not associated with a track or if the track was assigned manually.
from_predicted		The PredictedInstance (if any) that this instance was initialized from. This is used with human-in-the-loop workflows.

from_numpy(tracks_arr, videos, skeletons=None, tracks=None, first_frame=0, return_confidence=False) classmethod

Create a new Labels object from a numpy array of tracks.

This factory method creates a new Labels object with instances constructed from the provided numpy array. It is the inverse operation of Labels.numpy().

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
tracks_arr	ndarray	A numpy array of tracks, with shape (n_frames, n_tracks, n_nodes, 2) or (n_frames, n_tracks, n_nodes, 3), where the last dimension contains the x,y coordinates (and optionally confidence scores).	required
videos	list[Video]	List of Video objects to associate with the labels. At least one video is required.	required
skeletons	list[Skeleton] | Skeleton | None	Skeleton or list of Skeleton objects to use for the instances. At least one skeleton is required.	None
tracks	list[Track] | None	List of Track objects corresponding to the second dimension of the array. If not specified, new tracks will be created automatically.	None
first_frame	int	Frame index to start the labeled frames from. Default is 0.	0
return_confidence	bool	Whether the tracks_arr contains confidence scores in the last dimension. If True, tracks_arr.shape[-1] should be 3.	False

Returns:

Type	Description
Labels	A new Labels object with instances constructed from the numpy array.

Raises:

Type	Description
ValueError	If the array dimensions are invalid, or if no videos or skeletons are provided.

Examples:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from sleap_io import Labels, Video, Skeleton
>>> # Create a simple tracking array for 2 frames, 1 track, 2 nodes
>>> arr = np.zeros((2, 1, 2, 2))
>>> arr[0, 0] = [[10, 20], [30, 40]]  # Frame 0

numpy(video=None, untracked=False, return_confidence=False, user_instances=True)

Construct a numpy array from instance points.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
video	Optional[Union[Video, int]]	Video or video index to convert to numpy arrays. If None (the default), uses the first video.	None
untracked	bool	If False (the default), include only instances that have a track assignment. If True, includes all instances in each frame in arbitrary order.	False
return_confidence	bool	If False (the default), only return points of nodes. If True, return the points and scores of nodes.	False
user_instances	bool	If True (the default), include user instances when available, preferring them over predicted instances with the same track. If False, only include predicted instances.	True

Returns:

Type

Description

ndarray

An array of tracks of shape (n_frames, n_tracks, n_nodes, 2) if return_confidence is False. Otherwise returned shape is (n_frames, n_tracks, n_nodes, 3) if return_confidence is True. Missing data will be replaced with np.nan. If this is a single instance project, a track does not need to be assigned. When user_instances=False, only predicted instances will be returned. When user_instances=True, user instances will be preferred over predicted instances with the same track or if linked via from_predicted.

Notes

This method assumes that instances have tracks assigned and is intended to function primarily for single-video prediction results.

This method now delegates to sleap_io.codecs.numpy.to_numpy(). See that function for implementation details.

Remove nodes from the skeleton.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
nodes	list[Union]	A list of node names, indices, or Node objects to remove.	required
skeleton	Skeleton | None	Skeleton to update. If None (the default), assumes there is only one skeleton in the labels and raises ValueError otherwise.	None

ValueError	If the nodes are not found in the skeleton, or if there is more than one skeleton in the labels and it is not specified.

Notes

This method should always be used when removing nodes from the skeleton as it handles updating the lookup caches necessary for indexing nodes by name, and updating instances to reflect the changes made to the skeleton.

Any edges and symmetries that are connected to the removed nodes will also be removed.

replace_skeleton(new_skeleton, old_skeleton=None, node_map=None)

Replace the skeleton in the labels.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
new_skeleton	Skeleton	The new Skeleton to replace the old skeleton with.	required
old_skeleton	Skeleton | None	The old Skeleton to replace. If None (the default), assumes there is only one skeleton in the labels and raises ValueError otherwise.	None
node_map	dict[Union, Union] | None	Dictionary mapping nodes in the old skeleton to nodes in the new skeleton. Keys and values can be specified as Node objects, integer indices, or string names. If not provided, only nodes with identical names will be mapped. Points associated with unmapped nodes will be removed.	None

Raises:

Type	Description
ValueError	If there is more than one skeleton in the Labels but it is not specified.

Warning

This method will replace the skeleton in all instances in the labels that have the old skeleton. All point data associated with nodes not in the node_map will be lost.

If False is specified (the default), the source video will be restored if available, otherwise the embedded frames will be re-saved. If True or "all", all labeled frames and suggested frames will be embedded. If "source" is specified, no images will be embedded and the source video will be restored if available. This argument is only valid for the SLP backend.	False
restore_original_videos	bool	If True (default) and embed=False, use original video files. If False and embed=False, keep references to source .pkg.slp files. Only applies when embed=False.	True
embed_inplace	bool	If False (default), a copy of the labels is made before embedding to avoid modifying the in-memory labels. If True, the labels will be modified in-place to point to the embedded videos, which is faster but mutates the input. Only applies when embedding.	False
verbose	bool	If True (the default), display a progress bar when embedding frames.	True

split(n, seed=None)

Separate the labels into random splits.

Parameters:

n	int | float	Size of the first split. If integer >= 1, assumes that this is the number of labeled frames in the first split. If < 1.0, this will be treated as a fraction of the total labeled frames.	required
seed	int | None	Optional integer seed to use for reproducibility.	None

Returns:

Type

Description

A LabelsSet with keys "split1" and "split2". If an integer was specified, len(split1) == n. If a fraction was specified, len(split1) == int(n * len(labels)). The second split contains the remainder, i.e., len(split2) == len(labels) - len(split1). If there are too few frames, a minimum of 1 frame will be kept in the second split. If there is exactly 1 labeled frame in the labels, the same frame will be assigned to both splits.

Notes

This method now returns a LabelsSet for easier management of splits. For backward compatibility, the returned LabelsSet can be unpacked like a tuple: split1, split2 = labels.split(0.8)

update_from_numpy(tracks_arr, video=None, tracks=None, create_missing=True)

Update instances from a numpy array of tracks.

This function updates the points in existing instances, and creates new instances for tracks that don't have a corresponding instance in a frame.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
tracks_arr	ndarray	A numpy array of tracks, with shape (n_frames, n_tracks, n_nodes, 2) or (n_frames, n_tracks, n_nodes, 3), where the last dimension contains the x,y coordinates (and optionally confidence scores).	required
video	Optional[Union[Video, int]]	The video to update instances for. If not specified, the first video in the labels will be used if there is only one video.	None
tracks	Optional[list[Track]]	List of Track objects corresponding to the second dimension of the array. If not specified, self.tracks will be used, and must have the same length as the second dimension of the array.	None
create_missing	bool	If True (the default), creates new PredictedInstances for tracks that don't have corresponding instances in a frame. If False, only updates existing instances.	True

Raises:

Type	Description
ValueError	If the video cannot be determined, or if tracks are not specified and the number of tracks in the array doesn't match the number of tracks in the labels.

Notes

This method is the inverse of Labels.numpy(), and can be used to update instance points after modifying the numpy array.

If the array has a third dimension with shape 3 (tracks_arr.shape[-1] == 3), the last channel is assumed to be confidence scores.

MediaVideo

Bases: sleap_io.io.video_reading.VideoBackend

Video backend for reading videos stored as common media files.

This backend supports reading through FFMPEG (the default), pyav, or OpenCV. Here are their trade-offs:

- "opencv": Fastest video reader, but only supports a limited number of codecs
    and may not be able to read some videos. It requires `opencv-python` to be
    installed. It is the fastest because it uses the OpenCV C++ library to read
    videos, but is limited by the version of FFMPEG that was linked into it at
    build time as well as the OpenCV version used.
- "FFMPEG": Slowest, but most reliable. This is the default backend. It requires
    `imageio-ffmpeg` and a `ffmpeg` executable on the system path (which can be
    installed via conda). The `imageio` plugin for FFMPEG reads frames into raw
    bytes which are communicated to Python through STDOUT on a subprocess pipe,
    which can be slow. However, it is the most reliable and feature-complete. If
    you install the conda-forge version of ffmpeg, it will be compiled with
    support for many codecs, including GPU-accelerated codecs like NVDEC for
    H264 and others.
- "pyav": Supports most codecs that FFMPEG does, but not as complete or reliable
    of an implementation in `imageio` as FFMPEG for some video types. It is
    faster than FFMPEG because it uses the `av` package to read frames directly
    into numpy arrays in memory without the need for a subprocess pipe. These
    are Python bindings for the C library libav, which is the same library that
    FFMPEG uses under the hood.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
filename		Path to video file.
grayscale		Whether to force grayscale. If None, autodetect on first frame load.
keep_open		Whether to keep the video reader open between calls to read frames. If False, will close the reader after each call. If True (the default), it will keep the reader open and cache it for subsequent calls which may enhance the performance of reading multiple frames.
plugin		Video plugin to use. One of "opencv", "FFMPEG", or "pyav". If None, will use the first available plugin in the order listed above.

__doc__ = 'Video backend for reading videos stored as common media files.\n\n This backend supports reading through FFMPEG (the default), pyav, or OpenCV. Here\n are their trade-offs:\n\n - "opencv": Fastest video reader, but only supports a limited number of codecs\n and may not be able to read some videos. It requires `opencv-python` to be\n installed. It is the fastest because it uses the OpenCV C++ library to read\n videos, but is limited by the version of FFMPEG that was linked into it at\n build time as well as the OpenCV version used.\n - "FFMPEG": Slowest, but most reliable. This is the default backend. It requires\n `imageio-ffmpeg` and a `ffmpeg` executable on the system path (which can be\n installed via conda). The `imageio` plugin for FFMPEG reads frames into raw\n bytes which are communicated to Python through STDOUT on a subprocess pipe,\n which can be slow. However, it is the most reliable and feature-complete. If\n you install the conda-forge version of ffmpeg, it will be compiled with\n support for many codecs, including GPU-accelerated codecs like NVDEC for\n H264 and others.\n - "pyav": Supports most codecs that FFMPEG does, but not as complete or reliable\n of an implementation in `imageio` as FFMPEG for some video types. It is\n faster than FFMPEG because it uses the `av` package to read frames directly\n into numpy arrays in memory without the need for a subprocess pipe. These\n are Python bindings for the C library libav, which is the same library that\n FFMPEG uses under the hood.\n\n Attributes:\n filename: Path to video file.\n grayscale: Whether to force grayscale. If None, autodetect on first frame load.\n keep_open: Whether to keep the video reader open between calls to read frames.\n If False, will close the reader after each call. If True (the default), it\n will keep the reader open and cache it for subsequent calls which may\n enhance the performance of reading multiple frames.\n plugin: Video plugin to use. One of "opencv", "FFMPEG", or "pyav". If `None`,\n will use the first available plugin in the order listed above.\n ' class-attribute

PredictedInstance

Bases: sleap_io.model.instance.Instance

A PredictedInstance is an Instance that was predicted using a model.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
skeleton		The Skeleton that this Instance is associated with.
points		A dictionary where keys are Skeleton nodes and values are Points.
track		An optional Track associated with a unique animal/object across frames or videos.
from_predicted		Not applicable in PredictedInstances (must be set to None).
score		The instance detection or part grouping prediction score. This is a scalar that represents the confidence with which this entire instance was predicted. This may not always be applicable depending on the model type.
tracking_score		The score associated with the Track assignment. This is typically the value from the score matrix used in an identity assignment.

Methods:

Name	Description
__getitem__	Return the point associated with a node.
__init__	Method generated by attrs for class PredictedInstance.
__repr__	Return a readable representation of the instance.
__setitem__	Set the point associated with a node.
empty	Create an empty instance with no points.
from_numpy	Create a predicted instance object from a numpy array.
numpy	Return the instance points as a (n_nodes, 2) numpy array.
replace_skeleton	Replace the skeleton associated with the instance.
update_skeleton	Update or replace the skeleton associated with the instance.

Skeleton

A description of a set of landmark types and connections between them.

Skeletons are represented by a directed graph composed of a set of Nodes (landmark types such as body parts) and Edges (connections between parts).

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
nodes		A list of Nodes. May be specified as a list of strings to create new nodes from their names.
edges		A list of Edges. May be specified as a list of 2-tuples of string names or integer indices of nodes. Each edge corresponds to a pair of source and destination nodes forming a directed edge.
symmetries		A list of Symmetrys. Each symmetry corresponds to symmetric body parts, such as "left eye", "right eye". This is used when applying flip (reflection) augmentation to images in order to appropriately swap the indices of symmetric landmarks.
name		A descriptive name for the Skeleton.

May be specified as a list of strings to create new\n nodes from their names.\n edges: A list of `Edge`s. May be specified as a list of 2-tuples of string names\n or integer indices of `nodes`. Each edge corresponds to a pair of source and\n destination nodes forming a directed edge.\n symmetries: A list of `Symmetry`s. Each symmetry corresponds to symmetric body\n parts, such as `"left eye", "right eye"`. This is used when applying flip\n (reflection) augmentation to images in order to appropriately swap the\n indices of symmetric landmarks.\n name: A descriptive name for the `Skeleton`.\n ' class-attribute

str(object='') -> str str(bytes_or_buffer[, encoding[, errors]]) -> str

Create a new string object from the given object. If encoding or errors is specified, then the object must expose a data buffer that will be decoded using the given encoding and error handler. Otherwise, returns the result of object.str() (if defined) or repr(object). encoding defaults to sys.getdefaultencoding(). errors defaults to 'strict'.

__match_args__ = ('nodes', 'edges', 'symmetries', 'name') class-attribute

Built-in immutable sequence.

If no argument is given, the constructor returns an empty tuple. If iterable is specified the tuple is initialized from iterable's items.

If the argument is a tuple, the return value is the same object.

rename_node(old_name, new_name)

Rename a single node in the skeleton.

Parameters:

    self.rename_nodes({old_name: new_name})

rename_nodes(name_map)

Rename nodes in the skeleton.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
name_map	dict[Union, str] | list[str]	A dictionary mapping old node names to new node names. Keys can be specified as Node objects, integer indices, or string names. Values must be specified as string names. If a list of strings is provided of the same length as the current nodes, the nodes will be renamed to the names in the list in order.	required

Raises:

Type	Description
ValueError	If the new node names exist in the skeleton or if the old node names are not found in the skeleton.

Notes

This method should always be used when renaming nodes in the skeleton as it handles updating the lookup caches necessary for indexing nodes by name.

After renaming, instances using this skeleton do NOT need to be updated as the nodes are stored by reference in the skeleton, so changes are reflected automatically.

Example

skel = Skeleton(["A", "B", "C"], edges=[("A", "B"), ("B", "C")]) skel.rename_nodes({"A": "X", "B": "Y", "C": "Z"}) skel.node_names ["X", "Y", "Z"] skel.rename_nodes(["a", "b", "c"]) skel.node_names ["a", "b", "c"]

Warning

After reordering, instances using this skeleton do not need to be updated as the nodes are stored by reference in the skeleton.

However, the order that points are stored in the instances will not be updated to match the new order of the nodes in the skeleton. This should not matter unless the ordering of the keys in the Instance.points dictionary is used instead of relying on the skeleton node order.

To make sure these are aligned, it is recommended to use the Labels.reorder_nodes() method which will update all contained instances to reflect the changes made to the skeleton.

To manually update instances after this method is called, call Instance.update_skeleton() on each instance that uses this skeleton.

Video

Video class used by sleap to represent videos and data associated with them.

This class is used to store information regarding a video and its components. It is used to store the video's filename, shape, and the video's backend.

To create a Video object, use the from_filename method which will select the backend appropriately.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
filename		The filename(s) of the video. Supported extensions: "mp4", "avi", "mov", "mj2", "mkv", "h5", "hdf5", "slp", "png", "jpg", "jpeg", "tif", "tiff", "bmp". If the filename is a list, a list of image filenames are expected. If filename is a folder, it will be searched for images.
backend		An object that implements the basic methods for reading and manipulating frames of a specific video type.
backend_metadata		A dictionary of metadata specific to the backend. This is useful for storing metadata that requires an open backend (e.g., shape information) without having access to the video file itself.
source_video		The source video object if this is a proxy video. This is present when the video contains an embedded subset of frames from another video.
open_backend		Whether to open the backend when the video is available. If True (the default), the backend will be automatically opened if the video exists. Set this to False when you want to manually open the backend, or when the you know the video file does not exist and you want to avoid trying to open the file.

Notes

Instances of this class are hashed by identity, not by value. This means that two Video instances with the same attributes will NOT be considered equal in a set or dict.

Media Video Plugin Support

For media files (mp4, avi, etc.), the following plugins are supported: - "opencv": Uses OpenCV (cv2) for video reading - "FFMPEG": Uses imageio-ffmpeg for video reading - "pyav": Uses PyAV for video reading

Plugin aliases (case-insensitive): - opencv: "opencv", "cv", "cv2", "ocv" - FFMPEG: "FFMPEG", "ffmpeg", "imageio-ffmpeg", "imageio_ffmpeg" - pyav: "pyav", "av"

Plugin selection priority: 1. Explicitly specified plugin parameter 2. Backend metadata plugin value 3. Global default (set via sio.set_default_video_plugin) 4. Auto-detection based on available packages

See Also

VideoBackend: The backend interface for reading video data. sleap_io.set_default_video_plugin: Set global default plugin. sleap_io.get_default_video_plugin: Get current default plugin.

Methods:

__doc__ = '`Video` class used by sleap to represent videos and data associated with them.\n\n This class is used to store information regarding a video and its components.\n It is used to store the video\'s `filename`, `shape`, and the video\'s `backend`.\n\n To create a `Video` object, use the `from_filename` method which will select the\n backend appropriately.\n\n Attributes:\n filename: The filename(s) of the video. Supported extensions: "mp4", "avi",\n "mov", "mj2", "mkv", "h5", "hdf5", "slp", "png", "jpg", "jpeg", "tif",\n "tiff", "bmp". If the filename is a list, a list of image filenames are\n expected. If filename is a folder, it will be searched for images.\n backend: An object that implements the basic methods for reading and\n manipulating frames of a specific video type.\n backend_metadata: A dictionary of metadata specific to the backend. This is\n useful for storing metadata that requires an open backend (e.g., shape\n information) without having access to the video file itself.\n source_video: The source video object if this is a proxy video. This is present\n when the video contains an embedded subset of frames from another video.\n open_backend: Whether to open the backend when the video is available. If `True`\n (the default), the backend will be automatically opened if the video exists.\n Set this to `False` when you want to manually open the backend, or when the\n you know the video file does not exist and you want to avoid trying to open\n the file.\n\n Notes:\n Instances of this class are hashed by identity, not by value. This means that\n two `Video` instances with the same attributes will NOT be considered equal in a\n set or dict.\n\n Media Video Plugin Support:\n For media files (mp4, avi, etc.), the following plugins are supported:\n - "opencv": Uses OpenCV (cv2) for video reading\n - "FFMPEG": Uses imageio-ffmpeg for video reading\n - "pyav": Uses PyAV for video reading\n\n Plugin aliases (case-insensitive):\n - opencv: "opencv", "cv", "cv2", "ocv"\n - FFMPEG: "FFMPEG", "ffmpeg", "imageio-ffmpeg", "imageio_ffmpeg"\n - pyav: "pyav", "av"\n\n Plugin selection priority:\n 1. Explicitly specified plugin parameter\n 2. Backend metadata plugin value\n 3. Global default (set via sio.set_default_video_plugin)\n 4. Auto-detection based on available packages\n\n See Also:\n VideoBackend: The backend interface for reading video data.\n sleap_io.set_default_video_plugin: Set global default plugin.\n sleap_io.get_default_video_plugin: Get current default plugin.\n ' class-attribute

VideoBackend

Base class for video backends.

This class is not meant to be used directly. Instead, use the from_filename constructor to create a backend instance.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
filename		Path to video file(s).
grayscale		Whether to force grayscale. If None, autodetect on first frame load.
keep_open		Whether to keep the video reader open between calls to read frames. If False, will close the reader after each call. If True (the default), it will keep the reader open and cache it for subsequent calls which may enhance the performance of reading multiple frames.

Methods:

Name	Description
__eq__	Method generated by attrs for class VideoBackend.
__getitem__	Return a single frame or a list of frames from the video.
__init__	Method generated by attrs for class VideoBackend.
__len__	Return number of frames in the video.
__repr__	Method generated by attrs for class VideoBackend.
detect_grayscale	Detect whether the video is grayscale.
from_filename	Create a VideoBackend from a filename.
get_frame	Read a single frame from the video.
get_frames	Read a list of frames from the video.
has_frame	Check if a frame index is contained in the video.
read_test_frame	Read a single frame from the video to test for grayscale.

str(object='') -> str str(bytes_or_buffer[, encoding[, errors]]) -> str

Create a new string object from the given object. If encoding or errors is specified, then the object must expose a data buffer that will be decoded using the given encoding and error handler. Otherwise, returns the result of object.str() (if defined) or repr(object). encoding defaults to sys.getdefaultencoding(). errors defaults to 'strict'.

__match_args__ = ('filename', 'grayscale', 'keep_open', '_cached_shape', '_open_reader') class-attribute

Built-in immutable sequence.

If no argument is given, the constructor returns an empty tuple. If iterable is specified the tuple is initialized from iterable's items.

If the argument is a tuple, the return value is the same object.

__slots__ = ('filename', 'grayscale', 'keep_open', '_cached_shape', '_open_reader', '__weakref__') class-attribute

Built-in immutable sequence.

If no argument is given, the constructor returns an empty tuple. If iterable is specified the tuple is initialized from iterable's items.

If the argument is a tuple, the return value is the same object.

__weakref__ property

list of weak references to the object

frames property

Number of frames in the video.

img_shape property

Shape of a single frame in the video.

num_frames property

Number of frames in the video. Must be implemented in subclasses.

shape property

Shape of the video as a tuple of (frames, height, width, channels).

On first call, this will defer to num_frames and img_shape to determine the full shape. This call may be expensive for some subclasses, so the result is cached and returned on subsequent calls.

process_and_embed_frames(labels_path, frames_metadata, image_format='png', fixed_length=True, verbose=True, plugin=None, progress_callback=None)

Process and embed frames into a SLEAP labels file.

This function loads, encodes, and writes frames to the HDF5 file in a single loop, making it easier to add progress monitoring.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
labels_path	str	A string path to the SLEAP labels file.	required
frames_metadata	list[dict]	A list of dictionaries with frame metadata from prepare_frames_to_embed.	required
image_format	str	The image format to use for embedding. Valid formats are "png" (the default), "jpg" or "hdf5".	'png'
fixed_length	bool	If True (the default), the embedded images will be padded to the length of the largest image. If False, the images will be stored as variable length, which is smaller but may not be supported by all readers.	True
verbose	bool	If True (the default), display a progress bar for the embedding process.	True
plugin	Optional[str]	Image plugin to use for encoding. One of "opencv" or "imageio". If None, uses the global default from get_default_image_plugin(). If no global default is set, auto-detects based on available packages.	None
progress_callback	Callable[[int, int], bool] | None	Optional callback function called during frame embedding with (current, total) arguments (1-based current frame index and total frame count). If it returns False, the operation is cancelled and ExportCancelled is raised. When provided, tqdm progress bar is disabled in favor of the callback.	None

Returns:

Type	Description
dict[Video, Video]	A dictionary mapping original Video objects to their embedded versions.

Raises:

Notes

This function attempts to replicate the serialization of skeletons in legacy SLEAP which relies on a combination of networkx's graph serialization and our own metadata used to store nodes and edges independent of the graph structure.

However, because sleap-io does not currently load in the legacy metadata, this function will not produce byte-level compatible serialization with legacy formats, even though the ordering and all attributes of nodes and edges should match up.
